====""PuppyPhone""====
Soft phone originally called PSIP (using wifi or modem to phone to other sip numbers for free phone calls)
Paid calls to any land line or mobile also possible. Sip enabled devices = free.
Calls do not have to go through the iptel server and can be encrypted (in the latest Puppy Phone)

**Tips**
//Calling groups of people//
a) Either you can call sip:conference@iptel.org and key-in your own "room" number - if the "room" is empty, it become yours.
b) you can host your own "conference bridge", the partyline now works, you can call up to 32 persons simultaneously, and everyone in the call will hear each other. If you need more than 32 calls, one of the participant can start their own bridge too, that will add another 32 calls, and so on and so on - the number is really *unlimited*.

Note: conference@iptel.org is setup as default when you start Puppy Phone for the first time. (ie no .psip.conf).
